New to Nginx and need direction
October 02, 2015 03:21AM
Hi,
I am new to Nginx but from my google search, it do seem to fit me. I hope someone can point me in the direction of getting help.
Let me explain a bit of my situation. I have a Lotus Domino Server that provide services using http, imap, smtp (all with and without ssl) and Lotus Notes connection. Since I cannot use SHA2 with the Domino box, I am thinking of setting up Nginx as reverse proxy so that clients can connect using SHA2 SSL and Nginx talk to Domino using plain text connection in LAN (and in future on the same linux box when I am ready to move the Domino from Window to Linux).
So, I need help to setup Nginx as reverse proxy to another machine with a twist to drop SSL when Nginx talk to the Domino box. That is true for http, imap and smtp.
I have seen some post regarding the reverse proxy but not sure how to use SSL on client side and non SSL on the Domino box side.
(I have installed Nginx on Centos 6.7 already)
Hope you can help.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi,
For HTTPS, do I use Proxy_redirect or Proxy_pass?
For imap, do I use auth.php and then set $backendport to 143 (listen on 993)
For smtp, I don't know what to set. Would port 25 starttls automatically handle this?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
